The Test Brief: Three Images, Three Different Problems

Now, try Designkit! I mean, a background remover is great for a simple picture, but how about when it’s a little more complex?

This is what you’ll see in this review: three challenges that ecommerce and marketing teams deal with all the time. And each one is a different problem. So how does Designkit do about those tricky backgrounds, fine details, and sharp edges?

Test image 1: A skincare bottle on a counter

Imagine a skincare bottle sitting on a bathroom counter, surrounded by towels, makeup brushes, and other products. Not exactly the clean product shot your online store needs, right?

Here, we’ll check whether Designkit can separate the bottle from the clutter without cutting into its cap, label, or shape.

What we’re checking: Clean edges, label details, and unwanted background leftovers.

Where it’ll be used: Ecommerce product listings.

Test image 2: A glass perfume bottle

Have you ever struggled to cut out a background from an image that has glass or any shiny surface? It’s a pain, right? You’re dealing with transparent edges, shiny details, and reflections that keep giving you a hard time.

Can Designkit manage this? Well, let’s jump in and find out if it offers up any edges, skips any background bits, or if the bottle looks a little strange.

What we’re checking: Transparency, reflections, fine details, and edge quality.

Where it’ll be used: Product launch banners and promotional graphics.

Test image 3: A model with loose hair

Isn’t it a pain when your hair plays hard to get during a photo edit? Hair is one of the hardest things to cut out cleanly, particularly if your hands just don’t want to play along.

So, let’s look at a photo from any fashion or beauty campaign and check out the hair, shoulders, and edges of the clothing. Because that last thing you want to do is have your model look like they had a bad haircut and used a background remover!

What we’re checking: Fine hair strands, natural edges, halos, and clothing details.

Where it’ll be used: Paid social ads and beauty campaigns.

Three Situations Where a Human Should Still Check the Result

Have you been convinced that Designkit will optimize each image for you? Not just yet. Below are three cases in which you will want to touch up your images.

1. When the edge is part of the product

Imagine a clear perfume bottle or a flat model with stray hair. These images require even more from you.

Slender straps, jewelry, clear packaging, and stray hair are all challenging. A tiny torn corner or specks of background remnants can be readily apparent against a white or brightly colored background – and nobody wants a perfume bottle with half a torn edge.

2. When everything needs to match the brand

Ever wondered why a perfect cut image still isn’t quite right? Perhaps you think it’s perfect, but what about the product looks too big or the shadow just doesn’t sit right and perhaps the background color just isn’t quite right with your ads? The bottom line is you need a designer – they’ll give your final image visual approval before they press go.

3. When money is going into the ad

Using paid ads? Double-check quickly before you click publish. Look at the crop, resolution, labels, product information and platform.

The takeaway? Let Designkit handle repetitive cutouts but keep creative decisions in human hands. It can speed up the first round of editing, but it shouldn’t replace the final quality check.

The Agency Verdict: Who Should Use Designkit?

Still undecided whether your team should give Designkit a go? Yes, for product shots for everyday use and marketing imagery! If you’re an online retailer, marketing agency, or content team looking to do fast cutouts for ecommerce listings, ads, and social media, this is exactly the kind of stuff Designkit is made for. You’re going to love the browser-based workflow and batch processing option.

But… When it comes to complicated glass edges, fine jewelry, or retouching, you’ll probably still want to use a designer. And if your internal process of editing or approving visual content is complicated, Designkit likely won’t cut it. Our opinion? Use it for the bulk of your workflow, verify the output, and leave the tricky work to a real designer.

Conclusion

Ever wonder if the time you spend removing backgrounds could be better spent? We totally get it! That’s why Designkit’s free background remover is always ready to rescue you. Thanks to its simple drag-and-drop process, multiple uploads, and easy-to-use background editing features, it’s a tool you might want to keep around.

Is it 100% perfect? Not quite. There could still be some areas that you have to keep in mind – like edges that are hard to cut out, glassware, and small details. But hey, why not give Designkit a trial run with some of your own product shots to see how they look before a big launch?
